Well my Rocky Chiaro Puzzle Bolts arrived this morning and couldn't find a thread on these so thought I'd start one.

I got all 6 bolts and I've solved 4 out of the 6 in about an hour a so far I wouldn't say that the puzzling quality is great, but they are most definitely beautifully made!

Have you solved One-Wa-Sure yet? That has always been my favourite. And from what I hear it also seems to be the most difficult of the set.

No One - Wa - Sure and Dub - L - Wa - Sure are the ones I have yet to solve but my Dub - L - Wa - Sure seems to have jammed :(

Edit: unjammed Dub - L - Wa - Sure and solved it!

No need Check the Edit ^^^

It jammed because i tried turning the 2 Nuts in opposite directions and the holes on these arent perfectly straight so they jammed on the washer between them , but turn out the washer is slightly thinner on 1 side than the other so i managed to twist it and it freed up then and I could get on with solving it which didnt take long lol

Oh...hold on...I got that the wrong way wrong. :?

Dub-L-Wa-Sure is meant to jam. It's One-Wa-Sure is the one that shouldn't.

I know what I'm on about. Honest! :lol:

I need to get some of Rocky's Puzzles after hearing about them. Small, Presentable, Shiny.

They're expensive little beasts though.
